I am a HUGE fan of Lo...Why I shop at Ricks,<br /><br /> I am a HUGE fan of Local Small business&#39;s in a big way!!! Going to Rick&#39;s Music World for me is multifaceted. Whenever I look for or need something to do with my open mike or my own personal seeking of new instruments and accessory needs, I do NOT go to Google regarding where to get the best deal on ANYTHING! I GO TO RICK&#39;S<br /><br /> One thing I have totally found out is that Rick Santos is my TRUE, Musicians Friend and he is the Daddy (s) of so many of kids of all ages even me. Rick&#39;s is my Guitar Center and for so many other instruments &amp; accessories with a heart which is so lacking in the with the HUGE Conglomerates (many already have failed ex.Daddy&#39;s,Mars &amp; more to come), as well as the on line places that attract so many but offer so little with regard to the local personal touch that Rick&#39;s is ALL about!!<br /><br />Please take a look at what you want, talk with Rick or any of the great staff about anything and if they do not happen to have the particular product, they will do their best to get it, let you know an opinion, if you wish one and be there tomorrow to help you learn how to play whatever you just bought. When thinking about shopping for instruments, new, used, consignment, when you are thinking sound and lighting of course lessons on so many and varied instruments &amp; many things I know I am missing, <br />Think of Rick&#39;s Music World.<br /><br />Rick &amp; Robin Santos &amp; all staff will make you feel at home on the busiest of days, you will always be a person as opposed to an account number and most often the 2nd time you step through the doorway at Rick&#39;s you very well may be greeted by your name with a great welcome back!<br /><br />May I also tell those few of you that may not know, On Thursday Night&#39;s Rick host&#39;s the most popular and wonderful Open Mikes in the entire greater Raynham/Taunton area. There is also a most incredible song circle lead by dear friend of Rick&#39;s, Tom Irving.<br /><br />Shop till you drop and let us ALL support this vibrant local favorite Community Leader in the field of EVERYTHING MUSIC, STAGE, LIGHTING AND LESSONS!!!<br /><br />See you all at Rick&#39;s when shopping and a most wonderful Holiday Season to one and all. Please remember, Holiday special at Ricks are year round event unlike some of those &quot;others&quot; out there that are seasonal and are by far not a 30 YEAR LOCAL small business!!! <br /><br />Happy 30th Anniversary Ricks Music World!!!<br /><br />Neal Braverman <br />Roslindale Open Mike<br />www.roslindaleopenmike.org<br />Neal Bravermanhttp://www.roslindaleopenmike.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037075297355978152.post-58965466515415532962012-09-01T11:11:33.407-04:002012-09-01T11:11:33.407-04:00Sorry to have missed them!

Rick &amp; Robin and all the wonderful staff will make you immediately feel right at home with great foods and wonderful networking amongst the many types of music &amp; musicians, family &amp; friends that gather each Thursday evening! It is an absolutely inviting and caring atmosphere I have always been honored to be an audience member of. Both Ken Porter &amp; Mike Delaney are both brilliant in their own right musically as well other technical ways too many to mention. They both have a unique ability to play and adapt to the music of and with other&#39;s without a blink. Together they are a genius! I say it that way as they are such a complimentary blend to each other both as you will hear!!! When you get up &amp; (COME to Rick&#39;s), to take in Ken &amp; Mike in Concert. You will hear mostly originals from both with an occasional cover often times with folks with whom they have played with and/or admired greatly. I can tell you, after you leave Ricks, after a full evening of phenominal Open Mike &quot;Incredibles&quot; and add into the mix, the tremendous Feature, you will go home thanking yourself for getting away from that computer and coming down to Rick&#39;s for a full night of incredible entertainment on all levels!!! I do want to let you know, I have had the honor of having Rick Santos as a special dear friend and as another dear friend of mine might say of Rick, he runs the very best Open Mike in the greater Raynham area, and I would add and then SOME!!!!! One cannot say Open Mike at Rick&#39;s without acknowledging his co-producer, Open mike extroridnarie Tom Irving!! Tom NOT only plays any number if instruments to entertain you, he also helps set the stage literally and figuratively for the entire night at Rick&#39;s<br /><br />I must say, I have been very blessed to have my dear friends, Mike Delaney and Ken Porter as a very special part of my own life. The first and most important part is the honor in calling them my friends. The 2nd is more than 3 years ago I had asked Mike Delaney to be the host at Roslindale Open Mike. He said yes!!!! It has been a wonderful experience with Mike for me as I have been blessed to see his genious in music and audio and other area&#39;s just envelop and enhance over these past 3 years which seem like days!! Yet the other 3rd wonder was that Ken Porter became such an important part of all that is Roslindale Open Mike. For all of you at Rick&#39;s fr the Ken &amp; Mike feature on this night, you will thank yourself for coming to Rick&#39;s! I will also say, I would like you at some point on the 2nd or the 4th Monday of the month come join us at ROM, (AKA Roslindale Open Mike), (www.roslindaleopenmike.org), Rick has joined us and Rick did me the honor of playing at ROM and even did a request of mine!!<br /><br />You are all in for a great night of connecting with other&#39;s in the warmth of the atmosphere which is produced each time I have been to Rick&#39;s Music World!<br /><br />I thank you Rick, Robin Chris, and all the staff and Volunteer&#39;s at Rick&#39;s, which does include, (Tom Irving), for your wonderful Venue. Thanks to all of you that help make up this home to great local talent at Rick&#39;s! You, yes you, in the audience, your kids and grandkids and neighbors and friends that are the Community of Great Artists that support great local Music!!<br /><br />You will have a wonderful time at Rick&#39;s tonight for all the reason&#39;s I mentioned and more yet to come!! My thanks to all of the Open Mike folks I will meet anew tomorrow and to my friends from days gone by, C ya tomorrow at Rick&#39;s.<br /><br />I will say in advance to Ken &amp; Mike, thanks for a great Feature and to all the Open Mike folks thanks for an awesome night for everyone of you who will be the Future Features at Rick;s and so many other places!! Thanks for keeping local Music ALIVE!<br /><br />Most Sincerely, Neal Braverman, aka, (The Pix guy at ROM)..... :)))))Neal Bravermanhttp://www.roslindaleopenmike.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037075297355978152.post-51409756947614213762011-03-31T13:44:54.003-04:002011-03-31T13:44:54.003-04:00Guitar-playing is not just about hand techniques b...Guitar-playing is not just about hand techniques but it also involves one&#39;s love for music.Stevehttp://www.tix4concerts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037075297355978152.post-15005891125348624792011-03-15T17:35:18.495-04:002011-03-15T17:35:18.495-04:00WHAT AN AWESOME SHOW!!
